My god! A programming language for a hunter in the sky! (7)

I believe the answer is:

goshawk

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for goshawk that I've seen before include "Short-winged bird of prey" , "Bird used in falconry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
